Well, well, well. That was a shitshow, not quite on BBC Week levels but possibly the first time in all 14 years watching that I had no idea what I was watching. I can't even remember the leaderboard or most of the dances.

But we can all agree that we dodged a massive bullet by not having Les dance this week!

Oh god, flashbacks to BBC week. Like a bad trip I never want to repeat.
 
It was week 4 last year that Hamza sealed his win with the salsa so there's time for Nige. I think it is more competitive this year - last year it was Hamza v Helen and the other two best dancers, Fleur and Molly, were in and out of the DO like a Len Goodman metaphor. Whereas potentially four or five others this year could break through.

They do actually, I think. Not on the Gio level but Vito is generally thought of as charming.
I prefer it that way, makes it more exciting to watch. I still think it will be Nigel, Angela S, Ellie, Layton, Bobby and Amanda who will be in front of the others but depending on who gets which dance each week the bookies favourite could be constantly changing. Don’t think we will see a real solid favourite emerge until the latter stages.
 
Don’t know if it was the dodgy themes or the fact I was already tired but that felt far far too long. The only standouts for me were Ellie and annoyingly Amanda
 
I love Nigel and thought he would do a great jive. But it was actually awful. I’ve given him all my votes tonight, he is in a dodgy position on the LB and I can’t bear to lose him!

Nigel has enough of a fanbse to get him through one bad dance. I don't feel he's in any danger.

Looking at FB - Nikita is the least popular by far. There's no doubt she'll be in the DO.

Also, ranking lowest is Zara, Adam, Angela R, Jody and Layton.

Bobby has been the most popular by a good stretch.
 
Just catching up with the thread, tonight was a bit flat wasn’t it.
Kai - looked bloody ridiculous poor bloke
Shirley -as usual inconsistent with her scoring, none of those dances were a 10
Nikita and Layton - love them both but agree with Craig that Layton needs to be more refined sometimes. I think after this he might get a stint as Emcee in Cabaret at the Kitkat in London. Dance off for me will be Nikita/ Gorka and Adam/Luba. Forgot about Nigel by the time I got to the end of everyone.
 
Nigel’s jive was bad irrespective of the theme and costume. It’s the first proper Latin we’ve seen and I was less than impressed. Oh dear
I know it’s technically classed as Latin but for me a jive is not a real indication of how someone will do at that style. Salsa, Samba, CCC etc I feel like would give a better picture. I think Nigel will be good with his hips which we didn’t see because it’s not usually included in Jive.
 
Can’t unsee Alma now 🤣

turns out he really meant alma as cleopatra
